It's finally happened, my chickens lost interest My 4 birds, Pearl, Midnight, Speckles, and Peep, used to love what we have in the coop. We have 2 roosts, 3 nest boxes, a feed bin converted into somewhat if a nest box, a tin of grit, a tin of oyster shell, a hanging feeder, the gravity waterer...

Obnoxious neighbor

Thanks for the advice y'all. What's weird is that there isn't any spot for them to get in. Have you guys had them get in your barn in weird ways before?

We have seen a fox around, but only twice last winter. Nobody even near us has seen one since.

The cart was in the barn and has been in the same spot for months. We don't have a tall barn, and the doors stay closed when people aren't there. There has never been a hawk or owl in the barn as long as we have owned it

Great, thanks! Seeming as I would want to try for a sizeable run, I might remodel their current coop back as a stall, and move them to another stall. The back of this one is right at a road, which can have some space taken from it, but probably only a couple yards in. We can make it long...

No pleasant posts here. Just a flock of 5 that may have went down to 4 Some time last week (I was out of town and had my grandma taking care of the hens), my Ancona hen Aretha went missing while left out of the coop (I told them to keep turn out limited to while somebody was present at the...

Thanks! I'm from Montana I'll see what I can do for a run. Would it be smart to let them have free roam during the day and close them in at night? Our ranch is small and surrounded by neighborhoods. We don't see predators. There's our cats, but they met the chickens when they were all babies...

Hey everybody! Man, it must have been a year since I've last been here. Good to be back! So, I have 5 chickens in my barn. We took a stall and converted it into a chicken coop. There's a feed trough that we converted into nest boxes (we have some better ones built now, so I think I'll get rid...

Hey guys, me again. Long time no see. How are you guys? So, I had to use feeding and watering since there isn't any general health section. But anyway... I went into my chicken coop today to let my 5 ladies outside and noticed Speckles, my littlest hen (and favorite. I'm saying this here...

We were the kids when we got chickens, so I selected Let The Kids Name Them. We have some named by appearance (Midnight, Pearl (my little brother says she looks like she has pearls on her feathers. She's a Plymouth Barred Rock), and Red (we later realized one of our steers had that same name so...

Has anybody seen a Black Jersey Giant hen? Yesterday was the last time we saw Midnight, our Black Jersey Giant hen. She's between 9"-1'3" (I'm not good with estimating this stuff), she has black feathers with red skin on her face, and she doesn't respond to her name. Well, she might kinda...

I actually forgot about this. The problem was already taken care of. The cat's in and the house never got cold in the first place, oddly enough.

Howdy! How you all doing? Hey, so I'm pet sitting for my neighbor, and her cat got out. She won't use the pet flaps though, I don't know why. So I propped them open and put her food inside in hopes she'll come in. But it's winter in Montana. So, when the cat comes in, how do I hear the house...

I don't actually live where she does, we have them at a separate property. I couldn't monitor it all the time. Is there any waterproof vet wrap?

She didn't necessarily suggest anything, just that Speckles (the chicken) will probably be okay. She acts regular, just has the limp. I can tell it irritates her, so I want to get it to stop.

I will get a picture ASAP, but I have none right now. I don't actually live with my chickens, they are about 1/4-1/2 mile away. We are in Southwestern Montana, and she is limping because of the cold. I have had a vet look at her and everything, I just need to know how to keep it warm.

Crud, it was supposed to be in the extras group. Could you please move it?

Hey yall, me again. So, my California White hen is missing part of her toe, and it's getting sort of cold, so she doesn't walk on it and has the most noticeable limp ever. So how can I fix this? Do they make chicken socks or something?

I don't know... Aren't Malay chickens the 3 foot tall ones?
